Hey! I'm a fish playing at a casino with both big blind and small blind being 25 pennies. The usual buy-in there is about 20 pounds, so the pot can get pretty big with blinds being tiny in comparison.
The question is How do I play the small connecting cards here? Should I really raise from with them? Should I even play em in the early positions?
I think there is no real point of trying to steal the blinds here or bluff since there are fishy calling stations there pretty often.

I agree. Pass on them from early position. I wouldn't be too crazy about them in any position unless there were several callers and no raisers. If you miss the flop including hitting a pair, fold to any bet.

Read dependent. Don't raise/bet out against calling stations, don't raise against people that are aggro from the blinds. Like blue said, fold from early position.

Thanks! By the way, when reading this forums it often really bugs me when there's AAAIDU.

It depends on the nature of the game. Small connectors tend to be more playable at tables where the pre-flop action is relatively passive, with more hands where you can see the flop cheaply.
